Delivering at Pace: A Benchmarked Analysis of the Traits, Skills and Drivers of Turnaround Leaders

Written by Riyah Davies on February 4, 2021

We are pleased to publish our report with Korn Ferry, Delivering at Pace: A Benchmarked Analysis of the Traits, Skills and Drivers of Turnaround Leaders. Korn Ferry are global leaders in executive search and using their psychometric profiling toolkit we outlined the key dimensions of turnaround leadership skills and talent.

We believe this study represents the first close analysis of the competencies, traits and drivers associated with turnaround leaders – the Chief Restructuring Officers, Chairs, Chief Executives and Turnaround Directors who have developed a specialism working at the most challenging edge of leadership for distressed or underperforming businesses.
